Amazon
Apple AirPods Pro (second generation)
"My go-to earbuds are my AirPod Pros. They’re comfortable and the sound quality is great for music and the occasional phone call I take when I’m running. They are also sweat and water resistant so I run with them in the rain. I do have to wear ear hook covers to prevent them from falling out my ears, mainly because my ear openings are pretty small." — Sashea Lawson, a New Jersey-based runner, fitness blogger and founder of Diverse Runners World
$229 at Amazon

These earphones cancels out the distractions and gets you lost in your zone which I love. Plus, if you're like me and dance around the gym as therapy, they stay snug in your ear!" — Stephanie Victor, a New York City-based fitness trainer
